This was my first decent dark sky with the Portaball.  Darkness was excellent, transparency good, overall seeing above average.  I kept dropping my filters in the grass.  Some highlights:

M13, in Hercules

M27, in Vulpecula - superb

M71, in Saggita

6905, Blue Flash Nebula with a UHC filter, in Delphinus

Veil

Double Cluster

7331 in Pegasus

Much smaller than I was expecting, having had seen this object in Greg's scope, I thought the 12.5 would let me bring it in noticeably more than it did.

7332, 7339, in Pegasus

Same comments.  Took a bit to find with my new Nagler 17mm.  I only found them just once, and they were dimmer than I expected

M15, in Pegasus

Very pretty!  A bright, dense core.

It's 12.30am.  Hercules is going down in the NorthWest while the Perseids and Taurus are coming up in the East.  Quite a sight with the naked eye.

M31, M32, M110, in Andromeda

At 1am Perseus and Andromeda were in a perfect position to be explored, while Auriga was rising splendid on the horizon.  Given that it was Sunday night and I had work the next morning, I was preparing to pack it up to make the hour and a half trek back home.  But I took one gaze up at Perseus and pulled my map back out to continue exploring.

At 1.30am I packed it up and by 2am on the drive home, the Great Hunter was rising in a spectacular fashion over the treetops out my driver side window.  Combined with an Art Bell show on the radio about people's experiences who have clinically died and were brought back to life, it was quite a spiritual moment in the dark.
